"Sure, you're not." Not once in Aiden's life has he believed that bullying a gay kid is wrong. Especially not when he believes that all gay people deserve to go to hell. But when his best friend comes out to him, and he uncovers a very scandalous secret about his own family, Aiden is left confused and terrified. It also doesn't help that amidst all his troubles, all Aiden can think about is just how hot The Bartender in the local bar across town is and just how much he wants to kiss him. ~~~~ You will hate Aiden in the beginning, trust me. But, please do give him a chance if you read this story. You'll love him, I promise. Kindly keep negative comments to a minimum.
